Nivex, a global AI-powered digital asset trading platform, is celebrating its second anniversary by launching the NXT Airdrop, the NXB Platform Token Mechanism and the Quant-Mind Global Partner Program. These initiatives aim to build a sustainable ecosystem through business contribution mapping, performance-driven collaboration, and long-term value return.
In an industry focused on short-term incentives, Simon Hardy took a different approach: he focused on aligning real business activity, institutional collaboration and platform value into a sustainable system rather than relying on campaigns or temporary liquidity. This philosophy is increasingly visible as Nivex enters its third year.
A Different Take on Exchange Tokens: What Simon Hardy Means by “NXB Value”
For Simon Hardy, an exchange token should not function as a simple reward point or a speculative instrument. In this framework, a platform token must serve as a value settlement layer, directly linked to the real economic activity of the exchange.
NXB, Nivex’s platform token set to launch in Q3 2026, is designed with this principle at its core. The token has a fixed total supply of 1 billion units, with an allocation structured around three long-term pillars: commercial activity, ecosystem development and sustained platform growth.
Most importantly, NXB incorporates a profit-based buyback and burn mechanism. Since Nivex generates real trading revenue, a portion of these profits are used to buy back and destroy NXB over time, with the long-term goal of reducing the circulating supply to 200 million tokens. This design reflects Simon Hardy’s belief that platform tokens should accumulate value through operational performance, not narrative momentum.
NXT: Turning Real Trading Activity into Measurable Contribution
To ensure that NXB distribution reflects true contribution to the ecosystem, Nivex has introduced a transaction-based airdrop mapping mechanism, known as NX Score (NXT).
Rather than relying on account balances, deposits or historical holdings, NX Score (NXT) scores users solely on actual trading volume generated within a fixed statistical window. For the anniversary campaign, the official calculation period runs from February 1 to March 1, 2026 (UTC), after which a single system snapshot determines the final allocation.
The weighting structure reflects Nivex’s priorities:
The calculation formula is simple:
NX Score (NXT) = (Copy Trading Volume × 3) + (Futures Volume × 2) + (Spot Volume × 1)
Each participant’s NXB airdrop allocation is then determined by their proportion of the total NX score (NXT) on the platform.
In Simon Hardy’s view, this approach reinforces a key principle: trading growth should reward liquidity provision, execution skills and collaborative trading strategies, not passive capital or short-term positioning.
Quant-Mind: why Nivex is building a global network of partners
While NX Score (NXT) addresses how value is distributed, the Quant-Mind Global Partner Program addresses how capabilities and collaboration are organized.
Announced as a central element of Nivex’s institutional strategy, Quant-Mind is not a traditional SEO or affiliation model. Rather, it is a performance-driven, multi-tiered partnership framework built around real business outcomes, long-term participation and ecosystem coordination.
The program is limited to 100 global partners. Nivex Quant-Mind is structured into eight levels, ranging from VIP1 to VIP8, and partners are classified into the following roles:
-
Elite quantitative pioneers
-
Regional partners
-
Global Founding Partners
As Partners advance through tiers based on verified business performance, they gain access to a structured set of benefits, including:
-
Participation in long-term profits from institutional trading activity
-
Priority access to quantitative and copy-trading strategies
-
Rights to participate in platform governance proposals
-
Public support for regional expansion and ecosystem development
-
Early access to strategic ecosystem collaborations
It is essential that all partner rights and rewards are governed by transparent, rules-based mechanisms, minimizing discretionary interventions and enhancing long-term fairness.
How NXB and Quant-Mind fit together
Viewed independently, NX Score (NXT) and Quant-Mind may seem like separate initiatives. In Simon Hardy’s broader framework, however, they constitute complementary layers of the same system.
-
NX Score (NXT) defines who contributes to the platform’s trading activity.
-
Quant-Mind defines who collaborates on institutional-level execution with global reach.
-
NXB’s buy-and-burn model defines how the platform’s value is returned and compounded over time.
Together, they form a closed loop: contribution is measured, collaboration is structured and value is systematically redistributed.
This integration reflects Simon Hardy’s central thesis: sustainable trade growth is not a matter of isolated incentives, but a matter of aligning long-term behavior, performance and ownership within a coherent set of rules.
What this means for users and institutions
For individual traders, participation is simple. Engaging in spot, futures, or copy trading activities during the statistical window directly increases the NX Score (NXT), thereby improving eligibility for future NXB allocations.
For professional traders, funds and strategy teams, Quant-Mind offers a clearer long-term path. Rather than operating on the fringes of an exchange, partners are part of the structural growth layer of the platform: they contribute to performance, receive institutional support, and share in long-term value creation.
Simon Hardy’s broader vision for Nivex
Simon Hardy questions the assumption that trade must be based on short-term stimulation. Its strategy emphasizes measurable contribution, institutional collaboration and the establishment of rules-based values. NXB, NX Score and Quant-Mind are infrastructure components designed to accumulate over time. As Nivex approaches the launch of NXB in Q3 2026, these systems demonstrate next-generation trading: transparent, performance-driven, and aligned with its most engaged participants.
